Abstract
Systems, methods, and software can be used to verify a certificate. In some aspects, a request to connect to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) server is received from an application on a mobile device. A certificate of the VPN server is obtained at the mobile device. A device-level certificate verification for the certificate is performed. Whether an application-level certificate verification is provisioned for the application is determined. In response to determining that the application-level certification verification is provisioned, the application-level certificate verification for the certificate is performed. In response to verifying that the certificate passes the application-level certificate verification, the mobile device is connected to the VPN server.
